Man vs Machine

Filed under: Science |

The “dhai kilo ka haath” swing across my face, maintaining a physical contact with it for the time it transferred the P.E following the  impulse-momentum theorems-bringing my face (initially at rest) to a state of motion and then the eyes caught loose motions. All following the newton’s third law of action and reaction, when you are late with your project. This is when I first got the idea of the laws of physics and later learned that the laws of universe are so precise that we had no problems in sending spaceships to moon and timing it’s landing to the fraction of a second. My brain sensed the “touch” of the palm. A day full of emotions.

The major question that puzzles everyone after a sci-fi robot classic is” will ever machines be able to capture such a scenario, will they ever be like humans-autonomous???” Can humans creations ever catch the essence of a human?

Can humans actually find the answer for “existence of god?”

Last Sunday, I was at the nearby beach. After loads of fun, I sat under the scorching sun for some “relief”. The waves cuddled my feet; the breeze rejuvenates my lost soul. The waves smash the rocks somewhere to my right; I can hear such a pure sound. The fish remains left by the back current- remind me of my origin and how far I have shifted from the “ANIMAL KINGDOM”. The black and white stripped light house tells me tales of the brave ships who were now beneath me into the blue and of those who safely rested in their harbours. The merry children enjoying the day, the estuary which feeds on the ocean, the mangroves born out of sea, the eyes wondering at the sea and searching for those twenty thousand leagues under the sea. An abyss cultivating life.

But far off in the middle of this I see a coast guard boat, rudely making way against the tenderness of the waves. “Poor boat “…I said to myself.

Can machines ever feel the way we do? Well, humans didn’t fly in air 100yrs before.

  2. read Asimov’s novels and see matrix. if they become reality, then i think your question will be answered, and i fear them!

  3. scenario like Cylons from Battle Star Galactica , where we play god and make mean thinking machines which tries to kill of human race could become true, if we can manage to have cognition in machines or some level of cognition.

  4. the whole point is , you can “program” a machine- it can be bad or good…battles and sci-fi is not just A.I..u can program machines to fight for a target..but can u ever program a machine for those hundreds of emotions and socialising skills humans have???

    • see, you never know, programs and logics have a way of “adapting” within the program. and its true, and established. so over years, a machine can adapt/learn…
